Oorrpondiug letters enote corresponding parts in theseveralgnres. The object of this invention is an improvement inA 'oultivntorspr cultivating-plow; and

It inl the construction of the double, joilxixi' 'by which the plow-beams are attached tothe axle n 5 frame-won: of the machine, 'and in the combination and `nrrsngexnent of other ports, es be hereinafter-de.

A A. are the wheels, which ere of any form end sise 4 suitable for thepurpose, and hence need not he further described here.

` Bis the axle, whiehis constructed in two sections, one for each wheel,and consists of the hearing-portion, an erm, which is turned `oi? enabling it to lie-secured to the standard O;- the above described construction being clearly shownin iig. dtthedrewiugs.'

C O ere uprights, or smndstds, mede of metal or any other suitable material, and are forked at their lower. ends, to receive that portion of the joint-pie@ a which' :has verni new. A

To the lower unter` face of said standards, the amr of the axle B is by bolts, which pees through said erm, and through .t e standard and joint-piece a,

That portionof the arm, or axle, which rests upon ne standard 0, n provided with a renee erholen, e

receive the bolts above described, -which nrean'nnged by changing the bolts'ilom vextiesllytiierein, so .the one to the other of said oies, the standards may be raised or lowered, with refereneefo'the axle of the carriage. l

A D D are the plow-beams, which are attached, st their a, by having n bolt passed through both, upon which the beam .swings freely, so that the rear end of the plow-beams, with the plows, has any desired amount of lateral motion, with reference tothe lino o i motion of the carriage, and to the rows of the growing crop.

To the rear ends ofthesc plow-beams, uprlghtsE E tongue sshd to horizontes), portions of, the joint-piece are seouredgin the usual wny,to the lowerendsof 'which the plows, or teeth, are seo Handles F are also secured to said beams, to enable the operator to gnide said plows, with reference tothe -mws of com or other crops which he ms'y be culti voting E are the standards, attached to the plow-bennes,`

end tu the lower-ends of which the plows are attached, se 'above described.-

Y F F. are the plow-handles.

Gr is e omseheam of timber say three by foruinch which rests in a. recess formed upon the upper ends o the O, and upon e -tlnnge formed upon the inner sidesof said standards, te which flanges the lever is bolted. Tothis cross-benin the tongue H. is seenreds H is the tongue, whohis secured to the emes-beam, es sbqve'desoribed, nud to the lower ends of the stand erde 0, by braces, as clearly shown in figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. A

Th tongue extends reerwaxd'om the injossbeam G, for a distance snicient to enable it to carrynpon ite ende snap, I, of iron, which is secured thereto, I.md which extends downward,.sa.y, ten or twelve inches, end has, upon its lower ends, hooks, formed to .receive the bras b of the forward one of the series of plows E, so that when not in use, said plows may be raised up, end be seemed in their raised position, by having said braces placed Wthu'said hooks.

" I is the stre of iron, placed upon the end of the or the purpose above described.

' a is the joint-piece, above alluded to which consists of e piece of mein, with in freni-m me: portions formed at a right e with each other, thereer portion being horizonte to receive the end of the plowbeam, andthe front portion having its ,sides vertioal,` .to enter th'e slot in the lower end of the milliards O, as clearly shown in iig. d of the drawings.

It will be seen, that the rear, orhorixontal portion of this joint-piece hns a. series of holes hored in it, by which #relient end ofthe plow may be carried nearer to ,or fnrther from the wheels of the meehine,as may be desired. l b b are braces, which entend om n suitabie point on the plow-beamsto s part upon the nprights inst shove where the plows `are attached, and ere for the p urpose'of strengtherig seid uprghts,
